He said, In order that entrepreneurs set up industries in Gujarat, we have created private industrial parks and alongside acquisition of land has also been made easy. Gujarat is also a power surplus state and water will also be made available in plenty, due to setting up of huge desalination plants”.
He further said, “Gujarat produces 35 percent of cotton in country of which 50 percent is exported and most of the rest too is sold in other states. So we have made, setting up spinning mills a priority. Alongside, technical textiles sector will also be given top primacy by the government”.
